Championship leader Lewis Hamilton says Ferrari will be tough to beat for the rest of the season.
Five-time champion Hamilton was running second in the early laps in Singapore behind Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc but dropped to fourth as Mercedes made strategy mistakes and pitted him for fresh tyres too late.
The race was won by Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel after he leapfrogged from third to first at the pit stops, ahead of Leclerc, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Hamilton.
But Hamilton said Mercedes still had work to do to seal their sixth consecutive world title, which would be an all-time record.
